Bice, Denver, Colorado. lt alm-ost seeme that the econoiric evil of yesterday is the real miert of to-day. We recail the howl that was set up not mian-y years ago; and! how the courts, froni the lowest to the highest, ,wvould have declared un- censtitutional 9.fliJ legislative meas- ure such as is going throughi present legisiatures la miany of tic states, f or the co-operative farn marketing. Not inany ycars back the provisions in this measýure -wouîd have been con- denined as crinal-practices in re- straint of trade. Only a f ew years ago legisative bodies in this country wereûcugcling their brains to find means to stop1 what they are niow cncoixaglng as an economic necessity. Se tchere Iseems to be nothing final in adjudica-1 turc or in statutes. Co-opemative marketing by fa-mm- ers bas reccivcd encourag-ement eveni f rom Coagmreas, and fro n a-ny in-i dividual States. Ili fact there are' j f ew tolday except hair-splittîng 1?aWy- 1 ers, who oppose the princîple and! the mnain détails. Laws governing this mianner of doing busine'ss camne tbreugh th-e obder law of neceseity. The fariner was' the meost individual-1 istic person possible, living la a co- opemative commrioniwealth uantil disas-, ter came to himi. Now hie is miakingt up for bast time. There la nothings else te be donc if agriculture is to be saved, and with it gorne the countryi is gene, ikewise; anid ail tbils is truc of the Canadian farmers as of thoel I in this cousntry. The' fanmer is act- ing uandier the law of seif-preserva- - tien; hie is becoming part of a-c j"trust"-a combinatien eally la re-, -trait of trade, te use the legalisi- tic terni.Ï These proposed laws require that! i the fariner shaîl siga away his liberty!I of individual action. Shade o f Adam Siïth, Ricardo, Miii, et al!t jWbat next is on the program? But tic fariner nst agrec te abîde by thec decision of thc co-opemative Society.e r Ris produce neolonger belongs t hiii; it is commrunity property to e'c handled, not in his individual inter- i est, but for the geed,- of the farmn- I ers as a body. His crops go te a j- genemal or central head quarters toe bc deait with there, dispoed ef byt the collective agcncy. Once Pa mieniberr he cannet imake a bargaine for himself, by blinseif, under pen- u alties provide-d by law. Here wea observe the streng tendencies of thisc species of legisiation te socialîsmn, buti it seema te be urg-ed by aýi unrelent-a ing nccessty-the necessity of self-, f preservatien.t A new ligit bas conme te the farm-t er.

We fim a nath-er forceful an~d timely pro nouncenit on the important pro bleni of promotion, ef pupils by writ ten tests set eutside the school witl wbiich as an, old teacher wýe heartib cencun. Here iý the part of th( report referring te thîs questien: Thc systeinor promotions basec oý,i the results of written exaniînationý set outside the schoel and alm-osi wholly independent of the gradà teacher, interfered with promnotienE iby fxn the attention of pupils. teaciers, principals and parents up. on tlie cidskaowledge or lack oi knowled.gc of certain specific factý irnstead of fixing it uponi the c'Iîd himseif, bis age, bis obility, bis needE and bis gen-uinie attainnients. *He mri'git le in possession of other facts quite as valuable and quite as essen- tial for an educational foundation as those aoked on the written examina- tien. But if lie failed te rememiber thiose particular thinga whidh somre person, net is teader, thoughttlhe ouglit te knew, lie must, except ly the grantîng of a special concession, spend( another year in the samie graîde. Promotion by written tests set eut- sido the scheol le pemnircieus la itself, quite as;ide f,,r its effects upon me- tarda-tien.
